The Truth Is Out There
Best thing about this trade is they finally got rid of Corey 'The Crackhead' Brewer.

Interesting. I didn't think they needed another scorer, especially like him who commands a lot of shots when he's in.

I think that would be a nice pickup. He's actually playing well, hustles, and gives you a little toughness. Not an expiring contract though, still is due $6 million next year but in today's salary that's not too bad.

Gotta go 7 deep in the playoffs and be able to exploit matchups, they can't do either

Right now in the standings but I don't think the standings necessarily represent the teams in order
Raps behind them have a better point differential and have been unlucky in games decided under 5 points which are better predictors of future success, for record in games won under 5 points teams generally regress to a mean. Not repeatable skill
Celtics even without a deal can throw too many bodies at the wiz in a playoff series

Why would Utah be interested with Gobert on the roster or for that matter the Pistons w/ Drummond ?
Cousins deal effectively dropped the price for Lopez, might as well hand on to your best asset considering you won't be in the lottery for the next 2 drafts.

You guys can't see a joke? )
I'm a big Casspi fan because he is Israeli and because I like his type of player, but obviously he is a fringe NBA player at best... It's funny how you all thought I was serious just because I'm an Israeli (and says something about you all, but nvm).
I do think from Casspi point of view, it's a great trade. He was getting killed in Kings rotation, after great year last season and it's a contract year for him.
It's also known that Gentry is Casspi fan and Casspi thrives in NOP type of basketball.
On top of that, he is one of the closest Cousins friends in the league, so there is a good chance NOP will try to keep him this summer, hoping to sign Boogie in 2018.
NOP made a great deal first of all, because they really hardly gave anything up for a chance to see how the two stars play together for the next 1.5 seasons before deciding anything about Boogies' future in NO.
Kings made very dumb deal imo. Divac lost face, after saying many times he won't trade Cousins and not many will trust him after that. They hardly got back anyhing for Boogie and I'm sure if they would have waited a bit longer, closer to deadline, more teams would have gotten desperate enough to offer something better (Celtics could offer one of Nets picks for example). Divac himself admitted he gotten better offers before that, but said it was the best offer at the moment of the trade.
I honestly don't see where Kings go after that... They got terrible organization, no one to build the team around and lots of problems... Unless WCS suddenly will resemble KAT or something...
I also really like the trade for the Lakers, the Rockets and the players. Lakers don't need Lu Will and Brewer is a nice player that can be in the end of the rotation. Lakers need to hold on to the 2017 draft pick and they got a bit closer to that goal. Rockets add another shooter and that's always good come playoffs time...

Utah wants to get rid of favors. Gobert and brook could work nicely imo
Utah interested in moving Favors since him and Gobert together have provided mixed results. They're going to try and pay Hill and Heyward, Favors the odd man out. Definitely a very appealing trade target, Melo for Favors has always made a ton of sense to me but is obviously a dream world scenario with Melo's no trade clause.
I just happened to read that for some off reason in last two days.

Sorry, I was in twinkie world for a minute.
i don't think Magic is a good choice to oversee basketball operations of a team.

Brook Lopez has 0 trade value. He's not effective in this sport today. He can't pass and his defense is not elite.

I think Magic is more a "figurehead" someone to help with pr, same reason dodgers brought him aboard a couple years back under new ownership.
I'm not sure the Laker brand is as bad as the Dodger brand was years , but it is pretty bad
He is a legend in LA. He could potentially help with free agents, jerry west son and whatever that new gm"s name is are going be the brains behind the operation.
I think Jeannie views Magic as someone who can play the Dr Buss role

I'm thinking the same way you are, seems to make sense to get the trades done before they get back to the games...but what do we know? They're going to have to be tomorrow as the deadline is at 3pm. I understand why some teams prefer to wait until the last minute, as they may get more return on their trades, but if you have a trade you're comfortable with, there's not much reason to wait until a few hours before the deadline.

I actually like Lakers hiring Magic. There isn't a formula on how to do things right. Rockets have math guy as a GM, Pistons hired Van Gundy as their main guy and he still struggles... GSW hired former agent as their GM and hit the jack pot and now Lakers trying to do the same.
I would think that having Magic in meetings where they try to sign free agents, can have some meaning for some players. I also think that he is pretty good business man and can add a bit magic to Lakers franchise.
We should wait and see how he does things... His first move getting that Rockets pick was a good move anyway...

Btw, Kings are saying that Pels were interested in Casspi few weeks ago, regardless of Boogie's trade and Casspy said that Gentry gave him a promise few years a go, that some day he will coach him
just curious, why would Gentry promise him this?
